Re: you now can donate to me!
@jack: I know that you are, I dont know why but anyway, Angry curently. But well, you should not complain /talk About anything that you dont really know. But hey! Keep doing it, it will be funny and amusing to see you continuing this...
Yeah, please don't take this the wrong way, but that pretty much cleared any potential thoughts of donating at this point. If you didn't know that before it's ok to just admit it, but to claim that I'm talking about something I don't know is laughable at best. I don't see you working professionally on site management in the field. You are probably trying your hand at something you want to do. And you know what, that is perfectly ok. But for the love of all that's good practice on your own toys first before you throw your site out into the world. Were you doing more than just tt hosting, i.e. accepting payments, I don't think you realize how serious a ddos attack or worse could potentially be for your server. You can't just cry for money at that point if it's clear you didn't make the effort and got attacked only months into the game, funding is tight for many here and based on your response it certainly isn't gonna come out of my pay I'm afraid.
You say your host has ddos protection. Ok, any host can just say they do, but:
1. I traced your domain to freenom and a tk registrar. I highly doubt a free .tk is going to have ddos protection that's actually effective - sorry, but .tk's left the common-web a long time ago.
2. If your hosting provider is anything like the one at webhostserver.ml, it's snakeoil marketing at best. They claim to be many things they're not. Trust me. There is no web host that can claim they're behind a cdn without telling you which one, claim they're the world's first and only provider to use clustered compute power, and yet be free and easy for kids just to deploy and claim they have their own hosting provider. If it sounds too good to be true then it usually is. Don't believe me? Look at jennios's site - it says the exact, same, thing. This is just One and One hosting trying to gain some revenue/increase their userbase by allowing people to become fly-by-night hosting providers with a system they claim to provide. One and One is known for massive upselling, i.e. if you just get a domain through them, they will milk you dry with tempting offers to increase your SEO score, and, of all things, list you in the yellow pages (bullshit). I wouldn't touch them with a ten foot poll after our nasty run-in with them on the Punchback server. Yes, we all admitted and owned up to that mistake, and asking for the community's money after that blunder was certainly not *my* first initial thought.
Any web hoster or service provider worth their salt should at least know how to either lock down their environment or find a reputable provider that can. One and One is not reputable by any means, sleazy at best, downright shady at worst. I listed qs-hosting as a provider that actually does! provide ssl certificates through letsencrypt, and they go through Stackpath as their cdn of choice. Certainly does the job, and does it well. You cannot get any better for $5 a month for the 10gb tier, and as if that isn't enough they've got 24/7 support (they aren't kidding about that, by the way0. And these people actually know what they're doing.
My point? Acting like the know-it-all is not going to work on someone who has credentials. I certainly don't claim to know all either, but I certainly know enough to keep a site safe. You should take this as a learning experience now while you can, seeing as you're running a free service with minimal data collection and it isn't serious if that gets leaked, as of now.
